    So the printing is incorrect, not the wagons. I'm in the same boat with some duplicates as yet unnumbered. Unfortunately I think I only have the one Pack A @murphaph

    You'll get the most interest from @WRENNEIRE, if you're selling these oddities

    A third pack of grey with new numbers wouldn't go astray as there were only two.

    That's an interesting point, Colin. At the rate IRM are going (God Bless Them) , they will have covered all the 'modern' stock within another 5 years. Regretably, in that decade we will no doubt have lost another prototype or two and a lot more period modelling interest. At the risk of repeating what I have said before some models might help preserve the remaining interest in the earlier Irish scene as the IRM models have demonstrated over the last 5 years. So I am hoping to see these sooner than later

    MOThS? ...(more of the same)

    @airfixfanthanks. Outside Ireland, no real interest in NG, was just going to have a wee look through it. Too much hassle emailing for ROW postage etc

    This is what concerns me most regarding future modelling of Irish railways. While there seems to be something of a following for the pre-grouping era in GB, there seems to be fewer who do and will remember or have any nostalgic association with early CIE, let alone the GSR, or GSWR .... Not withstanding what IRM have achieved in 5 years which is a good business model and an innovative and quality series of products, there has really not been any readily available early period traction, track or stock that might revive interest in that era

    Does it have an ISBN?

    Never fear, John. Drew Donaldson writes that from his personal recollection Cork Shed turned out B4 464, J18 593 and J15 193 with black smoke boxes as evidenced from leslie's IRRS photo above.

    I wonder how the newer components like Loksound V5 will fare? The newer IRM offerings have integrated sound that cannot be retrofitted according to Fran or at least the components will not be available to fit to the models e.g. the ICRs I presume we will be looking to people like legomanbiffo for a physically compatible LokSound V8.5 if indeed that vendor is still on the go at that time?

    Personally, I am gutted that they will not be producing it in the livery of the Great Train Robbery (y'know, an Irish model masquerading as an British rather than the traditional order) I wonder if the chips were not all that comfortable in the metal fryer?

    The evidence for badger populations being responsible for the bTB persistence and periodic outbreaks in cattle has been regarded as circumstantial at best for many decades. Farming practices, circumvention of control measures and intra-herd spread are more likely. Badgers are a convenient culprit, like foxes that decimated domestic fowl populations, sea eagles that depleted fishing stocks and golden eagles that carried away flocks of sheep and small children. Luckily most shot to extinction by the valiant Irish farmer

    .....exI ept the US cousin has a tractive effort almost three times that of the 071! Regularly see quad- and quintuple-headed UPs hauling a mile of freight cars, literally, pretty impressive even though ihave to wait several minutes for it to pass over the grade crossings. Harder to find but my personal favorite livery would be the Norfolk Southern livery which is still see here with some frequency https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EMD_SD70_series#/media/File:Norfolk_Southern_SD70_(378889478).jpg

    You're referring to the British duo and not Rory one presumes? Blood being thicker than PVA and all that

    Exactly, it’s a short trip to Cultra

    TBH I'm surprised there isn't sufficient market for an rtr model of the 4w LVs, HLVs with its several variants and TPO all running on the same chassis in silver, green and BnT liveries, possibly even the 6w HV. The didn't run in rakes but one or several of each were in so many trains. Granted they are mostly built pre-70s
  18. DiveController
    that's my guess for the next IRM rtr niche product offering

    Why would you be measuring anything unless you were considering new tooling or maybe just a change in livery on existing tooling
  20. DiveController
    Well, actually they went live early.....
  21. DiveController
    I'll tone down the color at some point with some weathering to get rid of the garish toyish blue look but the 'peacock' livery does it for me
  22. DiveController
    Any intent on doing the previous livery on the ML? I don't know if the container itself the same?
  23. DiveController
    According to Fran's post this should not be live until Friday 9am, might take a few more if they are left and can be shipped with the Dicky Taras
  24. DiveController
    What era does that ML box cover?
